Re: How to disable recursion on ONE domain? (Bind-9.11.14)

Show key headers only | View raw

Hi Ondřej

That could work for eliminating the caching delay when the VPN comes up. 
I'd just have to get that into the VPN config so people didn't have to 
do it manually.

Is there any way to stop the recursion for that domain happening in the 
first place though?

Thanks, Chris
